Greetings from Hell - Merak Magazine

I remember! Yes, I remember this letter
When my tears decided to escape
Out of me, I felt that is better
My soul took over my shape

I heard him laughing at me and
Clearly making fun of me,
How could I not see,
His love for me
Becoming hurtful like a gun flee?

I remember! Yes, I remember this letter
When I fell to my knees,
Crying with my pets;
Grieve together,
Watering our pain trees.

I remember your face within the paper
Looking slyly at me.
I seemed like a victim of a kidnapper;
Or a tiny hay in a big sea.

I remember! Yes, I remember my love
Feeding my eyes with your words
Your words – your shots!

Ah! I remember how I would –
Keep it in my heart, my shell
But tell me how I could
Welcome your greetings from hell?
